I'm thinking Picasa may be the best bet for my dad. I 'think' (not sure) I
can set it so that whenever a media card is inserted into the pc, Picasa
copies the pics on the card. I think I can show him how to place and hold
multiple pics in the Picasa photo tray, and then select Email.

I supply links to anything that I feel needs secondary confirmation.
I don't supply links to statements of personal opinion.

Link, cites, are useful if they pertain to what is being discussed.
When you supply a link to site that does not answer the question, you
don't get points.

I wasn't happy, but I wasn't particularly distressed, either. This
incident started with a refusal to respond to a Loomis employee. It
escalated to a confrontation with the REI security people. Then the
cops were called because Becker said "you'll have to arrest (me) to
get (his) ID". So, Becker put himself in the position of requiring
arrest. He seemingly wanted to be arrested.

He had choices. He didn't do anything particularly heroic. It wasn't
a Rosa Parks breakthrough for freedom. It doesn't seem he was out to
prove a point. He got involved in a situation that escalated and
chose not to quit digging.

I really don't see that the police had much choice. You can't expect
the police to back down when the situation had progressed through two
levels. They were dealing with an unknown and unable to determine
anything about the individual. They couldn't check for wants and
warrants by running his name. They had no reason to suspect Becker of
anything, but they had no way to verify that Becker should be let go.

As far as Becker being in the wrong, it depends on what Becker wanted
to accomplish. If he wanted not to be hassled, he had the option of
defusing the situation with the Loomis guard or the REI security
people. (I do recognize that the Loomis guard might not have been
receptive to that) If he wanted to make a point about his rights, he
was right in digging in because that resulted in what he wanted. I
seriously doubt if he had this in mind at the beginning.

My negative view of Becker is mostly based on his web page and his
reportage. He seems to see himself as Patrick Henry or as someone who
has achieved fame for standing up to the man. He brags about his
"hits", his interviews, and the media attention. He's probably
keeping his phone line open for a call from "60 Minutes" or "The Today
Show".

As to the photo angle, I would probably take that shot myself. This
is not a "photographer's rights", thing though. It was the subsequent
actions, not the photograph, that made this a story. It would be a
photographer's right story if Loomis or the maker of the ATM machine
attempted to suppress the photo, if a charge would have been brought
specifically for taking the photo, or if someone would have deleted
the photo from Becker's phone against his wishes.

Interesting point in that report. Becker was carrying a fake ID with
someone else's photograph on it. He claims he found it. Wouldn't
that be a red flag to the police?

Freedom of artistic expression. Freedom of the press. Freedom of
speech. The right not to be bullied by pointy-headed busybodies,
subjected to unreasonable harassment or the unreasonable fears of
others, the right not to be defamed or libeled by others, subjected to
false arrest, unlawfully imprisoned, or your equipment unlawfully
confiscated or destroyed.

Owning a camera does not bring rights that you do not already have, but
owning a camera does not remove those rights, either. Photographers
have the same basic human rights that everybody else has.

The photographer did not behave discourteously. He was treated discourteously.

No right was ever preserved by not exercising it lest it offend
somebody else. Rosa Parks did not fight for equality by sitting in the
back of the bus. Gandhi did not gain the independence of India by
showing his travel papers to whomever demanded to see them. Thomas
Paine did not help gain the independence of America by obeying British
laws restricting freedom of the press.

Running like mice and hiding in our holes only encourages the assholes.

It should not end there. The policeman should be prosecuted for false
arrest, the father sued for harassment and libel and arrested for
public harassment and disturbing the peace, and the police sued for
harassment and false imprisonment. Until this happens, bullies will
continue to indulge in this behavior. There have to be consequences in
order to make them stop.

That's really kind of funny coming from the person most likely to call

term.

One could almost assume that there was a funny bone, and not stick,

Most camera manufacturers say that you should not allow a camera body
to support the weight of a large lens. You will generally find this in
the information that comes with the lens. A 200-300mm lens is
borderline, depending on how fast it is. The camera-lens mount can and
will bend or buckle if the lens is heavy enough. At the very least, the
mount can be distorted enough that the lens will no longer fit tightly,
weakening electrical contacts and allowing it to move slightly inside
the mount.

My heaviest lens is a 400mm f/2.8 VR, which I sometimes use with a
teleconverter. There is no way that anyone should allow the camera body
to support the weight of this lens. Such a lens comes with its own
strap and tripod mount. If you want to know where the borderline is,
listen to other people when you bring out the lens. If they say "Damn!"
it is too heavy to be supported by the camera.

If I want to use the 400mm handheld, I let the lens strap hang around
my neck loosely while I carry the camera and lens by the tripod mount,
which is shaped like a handle. I do not tighten the mounting ring, but
leave the lens to rotate freely inside the ring. When shooting, I bring
the body firmly against my face, supporting the lens with my left hand
under the focus ring. I leave the tripod mount above the lens, out of
the way of my hands. My right hand operates the camera controls.

However, I use the lens this way only in the event no other support is
available. That is extremely rare. Even if I do not have my Bushmaster
shoulder mount, or a tripod or monopod, I can nearly always find some
support where I can rest the lens -- fence rail, tree, post, large
rock, or whatever. Nevertheless, you should practice continually using
every method for supporting your big lens. It requires muscles you do
not otherwise use very often. Besides, the last thing you want is to be
fumbling with the lens trying to figure out how to hold it while that
fox is stalking a mouse.

To upload to flickr you must be a member of flickr -- which is easily
done and free at the basic facility level. You ought to check if
there's a daily limit on number uploaded on the free accounts. Perhaps
what you should do is buy a professional account for the group, and
then give everyone the login name and password. But there is then the
risk that any of them can do anything to any of the uploaded
photographs. Depends on how grown up your tour members are, and
whether any of them are somewhat clumsy -- "oops! I didn't mean to
cancel the whole account and delete everyone's pictures! I was just
trying to log off!"

Sets hold only photographs. Collections hold only sets or
collections. But both only belong to a specific Flickr member and
nobody else can upload to them.

The usual way of doing this kind of thing on Flickr is for the
individuals to each have their own personal Flickr account, where they
upload their own photographs. You create a public group for the whole
group, which you as administrator restrict in membership to people you
invite or permit. You invite or permit all the group members. Then
they and only they can submit photographs to that group, but nobody
can do anything nasty to anyone esle's photographs. You can choose
whether the photographs are visible only to group members, only to
group members plus extra non-Flickr people you name, or anyone on
Flickr, or anyone.

Yes this is a risk I discussed with our organization. Members are
highly educated and computer savvy, just not savvy about photo sharing.
So they just give out login and password, nothing bad has happened so
far, but it is a concern.

This is certainly better. Question:

If we create a public group, then do people need to have a separate
individual fickr account before they can join the group? Or, joining
the group creates an account for them within the group?

Each group member gets a "collection" inside the group and is limited
to uploading to or deleting from his own collection?

Finally, as this will mean starting from scratch, is flickr the best
place for such things or would some other free site be better?

Thanks.

Agreed.

Actually I never travel without a computer. It's a Lenovo X200, light
and portable. If I do not shoot any photos I use it to check my emails.

Given that there are cheap and light netbooks (which accept huge HDDs) I
see no reason why anybody would not want to carry a small computer when

In 2003 a CF card got corrupted, loss of the data (partial recovery with
a utility possible). Later the pins of the CF slot of a card reader got
bent and it was no longer possible to insert CF cards into it.

That is the solution, but Bluray media are still ridicolously expensive.

That is provided you have opened the ACR adjusted RAW file in CS 3/4 as
a "Smart Object."

Well at the risk of getting tedious I can start posting the licenses for
the Public domain software on the CD

No it is the individual pieces of software.

If your using the camera, you don't want the case.

There would be the case of perhaps climbing where you don't want
the camera getting bumped around. Then you have to undo the case while
your hanging from a cliff.

You mean "File browser". Not operating system. As an 'ls -f'
will teach you in a hurry.[1]

And not even *every* file browser sorts per default by file
name[2], though most of them do.

-Wolfgang

[1] -f means "unsorted".
[2] Proof: Create one that doesn't. It's very easy to create a
trivial file browser. Doing it well, that's another story.
